Gun turn in 5/11/13

Maryland isn't paying ANYTHING for turned in guns, they're just doing the citizens a favor by disposing of excess unwanted firearms

You intended much sarcasm, right? At least I hope so.

Probably not. This is a gun turn-in, not a state sponsored buyback. No cash, gift cards or coupons.

Should make it easier for those who want to offer cash for those unwanted firearms.

I'm not an FFL it would be a private sale... Would that still apply ( today)?

If it's unregulated, yes.

It's always a good idea to get a bill of sale written up with the sellers info, and gun serial number. I usually try and get a copy of their driver's license also.

Anyone have photos or videos of the turnout for this abortion? Would be interesting to see if it's similar to the turnout in Annapolis for the pro-abortion, anti-gun, etc. protests.

And you can buy the kit to build that from every camping/fishing/hunting company that exists. Bass Pro..Cabelas..Outfitters...

Only 20 guns handed over in Calvert. At least there is hope.

All of a whopping five handguns taken in Southern Maryland. Didn't notice that any of the long guns were sawed off to a "gonna use this in a robbery" size either.

I know I feel much safer now that a few old rifles and shotguns are no longer in circulation.

From the linked SMNewsNet story:

Each weapon will be checked to see if it was reported stolen and possibly used in a crime.

Told ya so. That's exactly why criminals generally don't show up to these events to turn in crime-related guns.

In Leonardtown, it was a whopping seven long guns, and two handguns. No "assault weapons" were turned in there. Overall, just one out of 20 turned out to be stolen - from Texas, no less. So 19 legal and valuable self-defense and hunting weapons were turned in, and (so far) nothing related to local crime was accomplished.


Wow, that sure took a lot of crime off the streets. Not.
